R99-018 03-08-99RESOLUTION NO. R99-18 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH WALSH ENGINEERING, INC. FOR PRELIMINARY DESIGN ENGINEERING OF A 1,700 FOOT EXTENSION OF PEARLAND PARKWAY. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS: Section 1. That certain contract by and between the City of Pearland and Walsh Engineering, Inc., a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof for all purposes, is hereby authorized and approved. Section 2. That the City Manager or his designee is hereby authorized to execute and the City Secretary to attest the original of the attached contract with Walsh Engineering, Inc., for and on behalf of the City of Pearland, for preliminary design engineering of a 1,700 foot extension of Pearland Parkway. PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this the D(7'T-~ day of , ATTEST: ~ZEVED AS TO FORM: DARRIN M. COKER CITY ATTORNEY TOM REID MAYOR Memo To: Glen Erwin From: Alan Mueller Subject: Pearland Parkway Engineering Contract Date: March 2, 1999 CC: Darrin Coker John Hargrove At the February 22, 1999, Council meeting, the City Council directed the staff to design the four lane extension of Pearland Parkway an additional 1700 feet north toward Clear Creek and authorized construction of the eastern two lanes. Staff solicited a proposal from the Joint Venture of Walsh Engineering/Lockwood, Andrew & Newnam, the firms that designed the first 1000 feet north of FM 518 (attached). In accordance with the recent Finance Department advice that all professional services contracts over $15,000 be specifically approved by the City Council, please place this item on the next available Council agenda for consideration. The proposed engineering fee is based on standard fee curve using 9.6% of expected construction cost plus special services. The estimated construction cost and proposed engineering fees for four lanes is as follows: Construction: $653,114 Engineering: $69~400 Total: $722,514 ($425 per foot) As you may recall, we had estimated four lanes at $375 per foot plus 25% contingency, for a total of $469 per foot. Therefore, the engineer's estimate is less than the staff's estimate, so I feel more confident the two lane construction will fall-uhder the total estimate of $478,125 ($281 per foot) we discussed on February 22, 1999. The proposed contract calls for completion of the plans and specifications within 120 days. Under this schedule, the project could be bid in mid-July 1999 and a probable start of construction in early September 1999, resulting in completion by the end of 1999. Since we are going to design all four lanes, we should consider bidding two lanes as the base bid with the second two lanes as an altemate, so we can decide when the bid is awarded if it is best to build two or four lanes. Please contact me if you have any questions. Walsh Engineering, Inc. February 23, 1999 1.9.ft Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. A SUBSIDIARY OF LEO A DALY Mr. John Hargrove, P.E. City Engineer City of Pearland 3519 Liberty Pearland, Texas 77581 Re: Pearland Parkway 1700' Extension to North Dear John, Please find enclosed two (2) copies of Walsh Engineering - Lockwood, Andrews, Newnam, Joint Venture, proposal for the referenced project. Since the Joint Venture has been working on the preliminary engineering study of Pearland Parkway, the proposal is from the Joint Venture. For the purpose of estimating our basic fee, the attached preliminary cost estimate was prepared. It is based on 1,700' of 2-25' (BC-BC) concrete pavement with a shallow median ditch with a pilot pipe to replace existing ditch within the project limits. The shallowditch/pilot pipe will eventually drain into the existing deeper ditch which is extended all the way to Clear Creek. As we understand it, we will design the entire 1,700' but City plans to construct the north-bound lanes at this time. We are looking forward to being of assistance to you on this project.
